"I love that snow globe." Joey said after Laura went to bed and Joey and Pacey were up talking.
"I thought you would. Laura just had to get it."
"I didn't know that there was pictures taken."
"I got a man to take them."
"Thanks."
"It's wonderful." Her hands kept running over the surface of the globe.
"Do you think we could ever be like this?" She said pointing to the stick figures in the globe.
"I kind of would like to be a person and not in water every second and having it snow every time an eager little child wanted it too but the concept you're thinking of is perfect."
"That's what I meant, stupid."
"Ice queen."
"Pervert."
"Prude."
"Brat."
"I get the point." He laughed.
"I can't believe it's almost Christmas." Joey said cuddling against the sofa better.
"Me too." (A/n I don't remember what month it is in my story so go with me with this)
"My mother would always make us Popsicles the day before Christmas."
"Popsicles?"
"Yeah. She always was wacky like that. You know how they have Christmas in July well she liked the concept of July in Christmas more."
"That's where the Popsicles come in."
"Yep."
"You know we should really get to bed."
"Yep. We have to get up bright and early."
"Goodnight."
" 'night"

The whole night Joey couldn't go to sleep. Something was keeping her up. She didn't know what but it was harboring her mind the whole night.
She looked at the clock and it read 3:27 AM.
"I'm never going to get to sleep." She mumbled to herself.
She smelled a different smell then she was used to at night.
It was smoke.
"Why didn't the fire alarms go off?" She said racing up from bed.
Smoke from the flames made it extremely difficult for her to see and make her to the door.
"Pacey!!!!" She screamed.
No answer.
"He can't sleep through this. Can he?"
The door was too hot to open so she threw her chair at the door.
Smoke and flames simmered everywhere. Joey ran to her daughters door.
"Laura!!!!" She yelled. Her daughter woke up with a start.
"Get up. There's a fire out side your door. Go out the window."
Joey grabbed a lamb off a desk and slammed it into the window. It broke into a thousand pieces it seemed. She tore the sheet from the bed and laid it against the window pain.
"Be careful sweetie."
Laura was crying.
"Run to the neighbors and tell them to call 911. Don't for any reason come back to the house. Stay away from it."
"What about Pacey? And Minnie." Minnie was her new dog they had got a few days ago.
"I'll get them. Go." She helped her over the window and then went to find Pacey.
But before she did she looked over towards the Landry room where most of the flames were. Minnie was in there. She heard her crying.
"Minnie!!!" She ran over there and opened the burning hot door. It scorched her hand.
In the corner of the fire filled room was the little puppy.
It ran into her arms.
"it's okay baby. We'll get you out of here." She said.
"Pacey!!!" She ran as fast as she could to the other side of the house. The house was falling a part.
Pacey was always a heavy sleeper, damn him. Joey said to herself.
She could hardly breathe anymore.
She rammed the door open where Pacey was sleeping.
"Pacey.!!"
He woke up after she hit her foot against his stomach. Hard.
"What are you doing.?"
"There's a fire. Get up."
He scrambled up out off bed and with Joey out of the house. As they were leaving her pajama pants caught on fire a little bit. Pacey quickly got the fire out and raced to the safety of her front yard.
Laura ran up to Joey from the neighbors house.
"Mommy! You're okay. You were in there a while." She hugged her.
The fire engines roared to their house as Joey, Pacey, Laura, and Minnie stood in front of the house as Joey's house went to pieces.
To be continued.
